They told you if you don't feel better to call them again. You don't really need to wait. They said that because most of the time it just takes time for antibiotics to work. Continued severe pain is NOT what they want you to wait for- especially if the antibiotics have run out. If they're not sure what's going on, they can still maybe treat your symptoms or your pain, while they and you find you a specialist. Don't feel guilty about seeking to alleviate your pain. You've already proven time and again that you ARE capable of dealing with pain. Now that you've more than proven it, give your self the gift or retiring from that career. The voice that says you're just being a sissy is not your voice, nor is it the voice of a competent care-giver. "We're not sure what's going on" is not the same as that voice either. Take care and don't be shy about insisting on getting care that you DO deserve! I think I'll say that part again. You DO deserve getting good care and to alleviate your pain. I will personally kick the ass of anyone who disagrees- except for you. You're just wrong if you think that.
